Transit agencies today are expected to deliver real-time digital passenger information as part of their core operations. That information runs on GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification), the open standard powering everything from agency apps and Google Maps to digital display screens and voice annunciators.
Until now, agencies in North America and worldwide have lacked a partner with end-to-end experience across the full passenger information pipeline: from creating GTFS feeds to deploying them in best-in-class apps and real-time displays.
That changes today.
Introducing GTFS Ops
Actionfigure’s new GTFS Ops practice brings full GTFS creation and maintenance capabilities to transit agencies of every size. Our services include:
- Schedules: GTFS creation and ongoing maintenance

Why Actionfigure
GTFS Ops builds on a foundation few organizations can match. Actionfigure’s data platform consumes, parses, validates, and displays GTFS feeds at scale. We are a core founding member of MobilityData and the original host of the MobilityDatabase (formerly TransitFeeds). Our own products, including TransitScreen real-time displays, mobile apps, and APIs, run on the GTFS data we produce every day.
We’re not just a vendor. We’re a power user of the data we build, and our own products raise the quality bar for every GTFS Ops customer.
